WATER-CLOS'ET Bowl..

sPEc'IFIcATIoN forming part of Letters Patent No. 658,222, dated september 1s,

Application led .Tune 23, 1900. Serial No. 21,349. (No model.)

To all whom, t may concer-7e:

Be it knownY that I, CHARLES SOHIFFLIN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Water-Closet Bowl, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. v g

The object of the invention is to provide certain new and useful improvements in wa` ter-closet bowls whereby overiiow of water and other liquid matter from the bowl into the room in which the bowl is located is completely'prevented and at the same time the bowl is prevented from getting foul and obnoxious sewer-gases are completelytrapped and are not liable to pass into the room.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same,.as will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, forming a part. of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the views.

Figure l is a front elevation of the improvement, and Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same on the line 2 2 in Fig. l.

Water-closets as heretofore Vconstructed and used in hotels, restaurants, and other v muchffrequented places often become clogged up in the inlet or trap, and when this takes place and the trap is used then the subse.

quent water discharged into the trap over7 ows with offensive matter into the water-,

the main outlet-trap E to the soil-pipe in the' usual manner.

Directly above the distributing and flushing channel D is arranged integrally on the bowl an annular perforated connected with the overiiow-channel F, discharging into an auxiliary S-trap GrghavingitsV discharge-leg opening into the discharge-leg of the main trap E. Now in case the bowl becomes clogged at thel inlet-leg of the main trap E and the water and' oensive matter rise within the bowl, thenthe liquid matter finally overiows through the perforations `F into the channel F, to pass from the latter by way of the trap Gand the outlet-leg of the trapQE tov the soil-pipe.

In order to keepV theoverflow-channelfF and the auxiliary trap sweet at all times, the water-inlet B is connected by perforations F2 with said channelF, 'so that every time the bowl A is flushed a vportion of the flushingwater passes from the inlet B through the perforations F2into the channel F and through the trapG for the purpose mentioned'.

The traps E and G are provided withsuit-v able hand-holek H and H', respectively, forv cleaning the traps whenever desired.

It will be seen that by the arrangement del scribed obnoxious gases from the soil-pipe cannotpass into the room by way of the overflow-channel F, owing vto the auxiliary trap G, and the latter cannot` become clogged by malicious persons, as the trap cannot be reached the same as the trap E, which opensl above said distributing-channel, allthe parts being integral withthe bowl, and an auxiliary,

trap leading from said overflow-channel, as set forth.

2. A water-closetbowl having a water-inl]v let, a main trap as an outlet'for the bowl, a water-distributing channelin communication with the inlet, an annular overflow-channel above said distributing-channel, and an auxiliary trap leading from said overiiow-channel, the outlet-leg of the auxiliary trap being trap, as set forth. y

3. A water-closet bowl having a water-inlet, a main trap as an outlet for the bow1,an

outlet-.leg ofthe main. N ICQ,

annular water-distributing channel in communication with the inlet, an annular overflow-channel above said distributing-channel and also in communication with the water-inlet and an auxiliary trap leading from said overflow-Channel to the outlet-leg of the main trap, as set forth.

4. A water-closet bowl having a water-inlet, a main trap as an outlet for the bowl, an annular Water-distributing channel in oominunieation with the inlet, an annular overflow channel above said distributing channel, an auxiliary trap leading from said overflow-channel to the outlet-leg of the main trap, means for connecting the overIioW-channel with the water-inlet, and cleaning-holes for 'said traps, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing' witnesses.
